Belvedere History – Belvedere Charlottesville sits on the site of a 200-acre, 18th-century, black community known as Free State. Free State had a population of 450 in 1833.
When the developers realized what Belvedere was sitting on they named streets in the development after inhabitants of the old Free State community including Critta, Sally Hemings’ sister. A cemetery has been set aside as parkland.
Albemarle County Public Schools serve Belvedere with Agnor-Hurt Elementary, Burley Middle, and Albemarle High School.
Location: 2.5 miles from downtown Charlottesville.
Directions: Take 29N to Rio Rd. Turn right onto Rio. Turn left after Covenant Church onto Belvedere Blvd. Turn right onto Free State Road. Turn right onto Free State Drive. While Belvedere offers Charlottesville new construction and luxury townhomes, it is known as New Urbanism. If New Urbanism appeals to you then Belvedere Charlottesville is for you.
My thoughts: 99% of the homes for sale in Belvedere Charlottesville VA sit on .15-.25 of an acre, and that is tight. I quote from Charlottesville Tomorrow, “The homes are built right by the sidewalk and you can talk to the neighbors when they walk by…” So if you want privacy forget it!
Meanwhile, builders continue to build Charlottesville new construction homes which can also be a nuisance. I do like the idea of hiding driveways and garages behind homes that are only accessible by separate alleyways.
While the Belvedere community in Charlottesville VA is similar to Old Trail Crozet, I’d take Old Trail Crozet any day. Old Trail is open and has magnificent Blue Ridge Mountain views.
Others have said Belvedere is hip like the Belmont Charlottesville neighborhood. Belvedere is not at all like the Belmont neighborhood. Belmont is old & hip. Belvedere is cool to the developers.
Although I rank it as one of the top suburban, Charlottesville’s neighborhoods, I give it a 7 out of 10. Why not a 10? It’s just too big. Plus there’s no interest in the commercial mixed-use real estate as no one wants to rent a store here.
Note – Don’t make the mistake of buying from a builder. Using a Charlottesville luxury realtor will ALWAYS get you more upgrades. We know what the builders are offering.
Note – I have added links to both The Reserve & The Center at Belvedere to learn more.
The Reserve at Belvedere – a 294-luxury apartment rental complex. Rents range from $1765-2500/month.
The Center at Belvedere is a new senior center (the Center offers no senior housing) and offers wonderful programs for everyone.
